Is it possible to use qmake to create a Makefile with more than one executable target in the same directory. Typically I like to create a test program for every class (a bit like including a public static void main( String args[] ) in every java class)?
Comments on whether you think I should be using qmake at all are welcome. JDL
I really don't think it is necessary to use it. I think it simplifies some tasks, but I think the functionality can be duplicated with make. I think the idea is you create a project file that details what is in the project and qmake uses this to build the targets. With make you will define your targets and then decide how to build them. I have noticed in qt that they try to do something like autoconf, automake do but much simpler, and I think qmake is a part of that. I wouldn't waste my time on learning it, and just learn the autoconf, automake stuff if you have a substantial enough project to warrant it. I think Troll's reason for doing it is to make life easier for companies who don't have people with make or system architectural expertise in house, but just want to port their windows applications to Unix.
